Carpenter was so excited about the new project, he suggested he might reprise his role as composer for the remake, which arrives October 18th, 2018, two weeks shy of the original Halloween's 40th anniversary.

"David and Danny both came to my office recently with [Blumhouse producer] Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and … WOW. They get it. I think you're gonna dig it. They blew me away," Carpenter wrote of the Halloween remake.

The director has not yet commented on the Escape From New York remake.
